Conners knows plenty of the strategies Evert and others used back in the day.He did alright with Roddick, at least got him to believe in himself it seemed.

A fresh start and some confidence can never hurt. Plus maybe some new motivation, but I doubt she needs that. She said her current coach cannot travel much in the future. If that is a way of saying she fired him or not, well, who knows. Still interesting.

I'm not sure if he has much to offer Masha.I would think she'd try and solidify her service.When that goes on walkabout her whole game suffers.

I can't imagine having Connors on my team and seeing him on a daily basis.But then again, I don't really know the guy personally.

Aside from her on court vocals, she is one of the fiercest competitors to ever step on court. Off court, she appears to be an absolute peach. All the best to her as she enters the twilight of her career.

About today's players becoming coaches? I have no idea who would be successful, tbh, or who would bother trying. I can remember asking myself the same question over 20 years ago and I certainly would not have pictured Lendl and Connors doing it.

Maybe he'll inspire her to stare Serena into submission. That's the only thing I can see Connors doing for Maria. Maybe work on her footwork a little that might help her a bit against the rest of the tour but she's already made a lot of improvement in that area.

I can't see any of today's folks being coaches in the future. Then again, like Litotes said, did anyone see Lendl and Connors as future coaches? Maybe Hewitt, I can see him as a coach. I would imagine someone who's spent the majority of their time in the 10-30 ranking places would like to come back on tour for unfinished business through a younger talent. So maybe someone like Isner, or Monfils. Not really today's "greats" but in my opinion they could be successful coaches of the future.
